Thanksgiving Re-Cap

So a few week ago it was Thanksgiving.  Also known as my favorite holiday.  A lot of people say this glorious day is over-rated.  Well I tell you those people have no souls.  How can a day of relaxing, delicious and copious amounts of food and booze, combined with football, video games, and family be anything but epic.  I mean for gods sake just look at my dog right there, being all cute and awesome.  I love Lucky!!



So anyway, Thanksgiving rocks.  This year my mom and I went to my aunts house and the family put on quite the show.  The food was delicious, and as you can see from the picture there was plenty of different dishes.  In the top right I have some stuffing, which is possibly my favorite Thanksgiving dish, moving clockwise the Turkey, a nice roll, possibly the most interesting dish a sort of carrot and cheese dish that was stunning, some potatoes smothered in butter, corn and sweet po'taters.  I mean this was one the best spreads of Thanksgiving food I have had in a long time.



Naturally after dinner, I had to indulge myself with some of my moms famous and delicious Apple Pie.  I challenge anyone to say they have had better apple pie, I can almost guarantee it's a lie.  My mom easily makes the best apple pie, the apples are mushy, but hold texture, the crust is ridiculous, the entire pie literally melts in your mouth.  Seriously it's orgasmic. I have and can easily eat an entire pie in one sitting and it's so good I don't even feel bad about.


For the record, the Patriots WON, I played a ton of video games, and slept. Another successful and glorious Thanksgiving.

Bertucci's Salad

Another trip to one of my favorite eateries.  Bertucci's!!  This time, I opted for something different than the Shrimp Rossini.  Instead, I went with a custom salad.  This bad boy isn't even on the menu anymore, but I had it once a year or so ago and ever since it's the only salad I'll get.  It's your typical Italian salad, with greens and mozzarella balls (which are the cornerstone of the meal) and some grilled chicken.  They also put a outrageously delicious balsamic dressing on it.  Anyway, I am usually not a fan of salads but this one I love.  Next time i'll make sure to take note of it's name, but typically I order like this "Oh you guys used to have this salad that had grilled chicken and mozzarella and a balsamic dressing..." at the point the waitress almost always stops me and knows exactly what I mean....Cool story right?  Well if you want to try this salad you can just ask for it like this and they might know what you mean!

Enjoy. (http://www.bertuccis.com)

Boston - Legal Harborside

Well this is awkward.  I have no recollection of what I ordered a few MONTHS ago at Legal Harbor-side   Actually it was Halloween night, or at least very near to Halloween night and I was out with Becca and the old man.  He took us to Legal Harbor-side and we ate well.My only real memory of this meal is that it was quite delicious.  I think what we have up top is some sort of Bruschetta - Almost sure it's the Apple, Onions and Bacon Bruschetta.  That would make sense because Becca loves bacon.

Here we have my main course.  It was the special of the night so there's no way I can remember exactly what it was.  I believe it may have been a panko crusted tuna or something of that nature.  Either way, it was on a bed of rice and sweet potatoes with brussel sprouts.

Finally, this was my dad's meal.  Pretty obviously Sauteed Mussels.  No doubt delicious.
